What career can I pursue with a major in Economics?

ASDF asked:


I am an incoming freshman planning to major in Economics at UC Davis. I would like to work at a bank, become an accountant, or do something related to finance for my career. I don’t know much about these careers, but I really want a job that pays well.
My opinion so far on some specific jobs:
Accounting- seems boring, but a stable job. Are there different types of accounting? What classes should I take? What’s the average salary?
Management- requires an outgoing and friendly person with a good attitude and outstanding leadership skills, able to handle situations on the spot. Not everyone can do it, but if you have these skills, you’ll excel in this area.
Investment banking- extremely competitive to get into, extremely competitive job in general, work 60+ hours per week, but extremely good pay. I especially want information for this. What classes should I take? What would help me get a job in this area?

Career?

asked:


I’m 20 years old and I don’t know what I want to do with my life. Right now, I’m a nanny and I LOVE it. I love feeling like I’m making a difference in a person’s life but I’m living paycheck to paycheck with no extra money at all. I’m getting married in three months and my fiance has a really good paying job but, I don’t want to be a bum wife that depends on her man to take care of her, you know?

I change my mind on a daily basis… One day I want to be a [starving] photographer and then the next I think being a nurse would be kind of cool. The next day, I’m thinking about being a social worker.

Are there any websites that can help a person decide what type of career would be good for them based on their interests?

How many jobs will Americans lose once illegals get amnesty?

Disneyland Guru asked:


Since there are 20 million here illegally and once they become citizens and bring their families over, how many Americans will lose their jobs to people who will do it for half price? The construction industry, maids, fast food restaurants, etc have already been decimated by this. Entry level jobs are all being occupied now. How long before your job is gone?

Candice C asked:


My husband is an ex military, graduated with honors, but did some stupid things when he got out. It is extremely hard for him to find employment and now his license has been taken away. Any suggestions or references would be greatful.
